Mealy machine

A Mealy machine is a type of digital logic finite state machine. The outputs are a function of both the current state Q and the input I. This means that the state transition diagram will include an output signal for each transition arc. For example, in going from State 1 to State 2 on input '1', the output might be '1' (this arc would be labelled 1/1). In contrast, the output of a Moore finite state machine depends only on the current state and does not depend on the current input.
